One half of the WOR 710 AM morning show is MIA. Todd Schnitt has departed the iHeartMedia Station after he was unable to reach a new contract agreement.
He had been paired with 40-year sportscasting veteran Len Berman since early 2015.
Schnitt will continue his daily The Schnitt Show, which is syndicated by Compass Media Network. That show continues to air on iHM's WHNZ 1250 AM and WFLA 970 AM in Tampa. WHNZ airs the syndicated show live 3 to 6 and WFLA repeats the show 6 to 9 pm.
In 1994, then-Clear Channel Communications brought Schnitt to Tampa, to anchor a new morning show on WFLZ 93.3 FM The Power Pig. Schnitt was teamed up with BJ Harris, the Power Pig’s program director to form the MJ and BJ Morning Show. Harris left the show on February 7, 2001. The show was renamed The MJ Morning Show.
Schnitt hosted The MJ Morning Show which focused on current events, lifestyle news, pop-culture and personal experiences. The program had been mostly a talk format but played about two songs per hour.
Schnitt added a daily talk show on sister-station WFLA in 2001. He ended the WFLZ Morning Show on February 17, 2012, but continued hosting his conservative talk show on WFLA.
In March 2008, Schnitt sued Tampa-area rival Bubba the Love Sponge Clem for defamation of him and his wife. A Jury found Clem "not guilty" on all counts.
